I agree! Viz needs love for sure.

Sidebar: My home plasma TV is a 3D capable one. Back in the 90's I used to use 3D to visualize models on SGI machines.

Fast forward to the mid 10's and I can hook up a laptop with nVidia GPU and run NX and the whole interface and model works in 3D!

Amazing. I love it, especially with a space controller.

There are maybe a handful who do that on even a very low basis.

That has always bothered me. Part of me knows some people have trouble and that another part knows the development gets even more expensive, but still your point is a solid one.





I am jealous. I ran UG(sorry will always be UG to me) for 15 years and didn't ever experience it in 3D. I did immediately fall in love with the spaceballs/3d controllers. I added the initial 3d controller support in FreeCAD years ago. If you are spaceball curious: https://spacemice.org/index.php?title=Gallery

Nice addition!

Don't be sorry. Tons of users call it UG. Yeah, I had an airplane model to play with and built a fair number of surfaces.

It works well. Space X has a nice 3D setup.
